Being on the Board is easy and simple, we meet four (4) times per year in person, usually directly before or after our quarterly meetings. Regular attendance to most of these meetings is required. We also have 1-3 conference calls if a need arises between in person meetings.

Each Director chooses a Project that they work to accomplish like:

Improvement of Meetings and Educational Content

Scholarship Fund to College Bound Industry Connect Individuals

State of the Industry Presentations

New Facility Outreach and Pictorial Presentations

Online Auction Education

Charitable Outreach by the SSASC

Presidents Circle of Excellent Communication and Improvement

Direct and Personal Member Outreach

Customer Service Improvement in SC

Directors give a status report at each meeting on their projects as well as working directly with the Executive Director to accomplish their goals!

Is an exciting and fulfilling way to get involved and really offer benefit to not only the industry but to improve your professional knowledge as well!

The Application Period is already started. Elections will then be held. The New Board will be inducted prior to the Convention/Expo (All New Board Members will be in attendance)! See you there!
